Asheville from Dallas-Fort Worth, Oct 30–Nov 1: $1,317 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $461 per person, $116 below the typical fare on this route
- Breakfast included at the Best Western, rated 8.3 from 1,418 reviews
- A full Saturday, Oct 31 for Biltmore or the Blue Ridge Parkway
The catch: With 2 stops and 25h 46m of travel for the round trip, you get one full day there, Saturday, Oct 31.
Worth it if you want a mountain food-and-foliage weekend at 20% below the typical fare; skip it if a 6:30 AM Sunday flight sounds rough.
Worth it if you can handle two long travel days: $1,317 for two, all in. That's the flights at $921 plus 2 nights at Best Western Asheville-Blue Ridge Parkway at $355 and its $41 property fee, taxes and fees included, with a checked bag (about $240 for two) not counted. You fly out Friday, Oct 30 and back Sunday, Nov 1, 2026 on F9 + G4 with 2 stops, so it's not a nonstop.

Why now
When we checked, the fare was $461 per person, $116 below the typical fare on this route, which is $577. That's a 20% gap. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $461 to $527, so this one sits at the bottom of the range. The dates fall right where October turns into November. October's season note is peak fall foliage on the Parkway and the busiest weekends, and November's is Christmas at Biltmore with candlelight tours. Highs usually run 59–62°F with lows near 44°F, and the outlook shows drizzle on Friday and overcast skies Saturday and Sunday, so bring a layer and a rain shell. That's fine weather for a brewery crawl, a long lunch in the River Arts District or a drive up to Craggy Gardens. Prices are what we found at the time and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a mountain weekend that's half nature, half food: the Biltmore Estate, the Blue Ridge Parkway, a dense craft-brewery scene and live bluegrass at night. It works best for a couple or two friends who'd rather pick one big outing on Saturday and spend the evening eating and listening to music than pack in a full itinerary. Since Friday and Sunday mostly go to travel, it's a slow trip with one full day at the center.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
For travelers who don't mind long travel days, yes. The fare is $461 per person, 20% below the typical fare on this route, and breakfast comes with the room. The tradeoff is 2 stops, which leaves Saturday, Oct 31 as your one full day in Asheville.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,317, all in. That covers flights at $921, 2 nights at Best Western Asheville-Blue Ridge Parkway at $355 and its $41 property fee, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag (about $240 for two) and spending money aren't included.
Is it a nonstop?
No. The fare on F9 + G4 has 2 stops, and the round trip adds up to 25h 46m of travel. You leave Friday at 8:38 AM and arrive at 8:24 PM, then fly home Sunday at 6:30 AM and land at 8:30 PM.
What's the weather like?
Highs usually run 59–62°F with lows near 44°F. The outlook shows drizzle on Friday, Oct 30 and overcast skies on Oct 31 and Nov 1, with a low of 38°F on Sunday morning. Pack a warm layer.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's enough for one big day, like the Biltmore Estate or the Parkway drive to Craggy Gardens, plus a night of breweries and bluegrass. Both travel days run long, so if you want to hike Mount Mitchell as well, you'll want more time.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip, you'll pay in US dollars, and Asheville is just 1 hour ahead of Dallas-Fort Worth.
